9 testlets total for ELA and for science

6‐8 testlets total for mathematics depending on the

grade

Testlets are taken across multiple assessment sessions.

Testlet Items

the questions or tasks in a testlet


7

Essential Elements

alternate achievement standards for grades 3 through high school

based on states’ general education standards

provided by grade for ELA and mathematics

provided by grade bands for science (elementary, middle, high)

17

Linkage Levels

statements that reduce the Essential Elements in depth, breadth, and complexity to varying degrees

With the exception of writing testlets, each testlet a student takes assesses a single linkage level and Essential Element.

18

Linkage Levels for ELA and Mathematics

Initial Precursor (IP)

Distal Precursor (DP)

Proximal Precursor (PP)

Target (T) most closely aligned to the Essential Element

Successor


19

Linkage Levels for Science

Initial (I)

Precursor (P)

Target (T) the Essential Element itself

Mini-Maps

displays of the skills pertaining to the linkage levels for individual Essential Elements

EXAMPLE for M.EE.3.OA.9

“Identify arithmetic patterns”

Each box on a mini‐map is called a node.

24

Test Administrator

the person who will administer testlets with the student one‐on‐one

The test administrator is typically the student’s teacher for the subject(s) assessed. States decide who can serve as test administrators.


25

Required Test Administrator Training

4 modules for new test administrators

Each module has a post‐test.

A passing score of 80% or higher must be achieved on each post‐test.

26

Required Test Administrator Training

Focuses on test administration procedures, practices allowed and not allowed, and test administrator responsibilities

Teacher-Administered Testlets• Online content is for the test administrator.• Test administrator sets up, delivers, and

records responses.• This type of testlet is common at the lower

linkage levels.• All writing testlets are teacher-

administered.• Science testlets may include picture

response cards.

independently with the computer– Can use assistive technology

• Are more common at upper linkage levels
